FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to substituted pyrrolopyridinones andsubstituted pyrazolopyridinones which are inhibitors of BET proteinssuch as BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, and BRD-t and are useful in the treatment ofdiseases such as cancer.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The genomes of eukaryotic organisms are highly organized within thenucleus of the cell. DNA is packaged into chromatin by wrapping around acore of histone proteins to form a nucleosome. These nucleosomes arefurther compacted by aggregation and folding to form a highly condensedchromatin structure. A range of different states of condensation arepossible, and the tightness of this structure varies during the cellcycle, being most compact during the process of cell division. Chromatinstructure plays a critical role in regulating gene transcription byregulating protein access to the DNA. The chromatin structure iscontrolled by a series of post translational modifications to histoneproteins, mainly within the tails of histones H3 and H4 that extendbeyond the core nucleosome structure. These reversible modificationsinclude acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitination andSUMOylation. These epigenetic marks are written and erased by specificenzymes that modify specific residues within the histone tail, therebyforming an epigenetic code. Other nuclear proteins bind to these marksand effect outputs specified by this information through the regulationof chromatin structure and gene transcription. Increasing evidence linksgenetic changes to genes encoding epigenetic modifiers and regulatorsleading to aberrant histone marks in diseases such as neurodegenerativedisorders, metabolic diseases, inflammation and cancer.

Histone acetylation is typically associated with the activation of genetranscription, as the modification weakens the interaction between theDNA and the histone proteins, permitting greater access to DNA by thetranscriptional machinery. Specific proteins bind to acetylated lysineresidues within histones to “read” the epigenetic code. A highlyconserved protein module called the bromodomain binds to acetylatedlysine residues on histone and other proteins. There are more than 60bromodomain-containing proteins in the human genome.

The BET (Bromodomain and Extra-Terminal) family of bromodomaincontaining proteins comprises 4 proteins (BRD2, BRD3, BRD4 and BRD-t)that share a conserved structural organization containing tandemN-terminal bromodomains capable of binding to acetylated lysine residuesof histones and other proteins. BRD2, BRD3 and BRD4 are ubiquitiouslyexpressed while BRDt is restricted to germ cells. BRD proteins playessential, but non-overlapping roles in regulating gene transcriptionand controlling cell growth. BET proteins are associated with largeprotein complexes including Mediator, PAFc and super elongation complexthat regulate many aspects of gene transcription. BRD2 and BRD4 proteinshave been shown to remain in complex with chromosomes during mitosis andare required to promote transcription of critical genes including cyclinD and c-Myc that initiate the cell cycle (Mochizuki J Biol. Chem. 2008283:9040-9048). BRD4 is essential for recruiting the proteintranslational elongation factor B complex to the promoters of induciblegenes resulting in the phosphorylation of RNA polymerase II andstimulating productive gene transcription and elongation (Jang et al.Mol. Cell 2005 19:523-534). In some instances, a kinase activity of BRD4may directly phosphorylate and activate RNA polymerase II (Devaiah etal. PNAS 2012 109:6927-6932). Cells lacking BRD4 show impairedprogression through cell cycle. BRD2 and BRD3 are reported to associatewith histones along actively transcribed genes and may be involved infacilitating transcriptional elongation (Leroy et al, Mol. Cell. 200830:51-60). In addition to acetylated histones, BET proteins have beenshown to bind selectively to acetylated transcription factors includingthe RelA subunit of NF-kB and GATA1 thereby directly regulating thetranscriptional activity of these proteins to control expression ofgenes involved in inflammation and hematopoietic differentiation (Huanget al, Mol. Cell. Biol. 2009 29:1375-1387; Lamonica Proc. Nat. Acad.Sci. 2011 108:E159-168).

A recurrent translocation involving NUT (nuclear protein in testes) withBRD3 or BRD4 to form a novel fusion oncogene, BRD-NUT, is found in ahighly malignant form of epithelial neoplasia (French et al, CancerResearch 2003 63:304-307; French et al, Journal of Clinical Oncology2004 22:4135-4139). Selective ablation of this oncogene restores normalcellular differentiation and reverses the tumorigenic phenotype(Filippakopoulos et al, Nature 2010 468:1068-1073). Genetic knockdown ofBRD2, BRD3 and BRD4 has been shown to impair the growth and viability ofa wide range of hematological and solid tumor cells (Zuber et al, Nature2011 478:524-528; Delmore et al, Cell 2011 146:904-917). Aside from arole in cancer, BET proteins regulate inflammatory responses tobacterial challenge, and a BRD2 hypomorph mouse model showeddramatically lower levels of inflammatory cytokines and protection fromobesity induced diabetes (Wang et al Biochem J. 2009 425:71-83; Belkinaet al. J. Immunol 2013). In addition, some viruses make use of these BETproteins to tether their genomes to the host cell chromatin, as part ofthe process of viral replication or use BET proteins to facilitate viralgene transcription and repression (You et al, Cell 2004 117:349-60; Zhuet al, Cell Reports 2012 2:807-816).

Accordingly, there is a need for compounds that modulate the activity ofthe BET family of proteins, including BRD2, BRD3, and BRD4, that can beused to treat BET protein-associated diseases such as cancer. Thecompounds of the invention help meet this need.

Formulation, Dosage Forms and Administration

When employed as pharmaceuticals, the compounds of the invention can beadministered in the form of pharmaceutical compositions. Thesecompositions can be prepared in a manner well known in thepharmaceutical art, and can be administered by a variety of routes,depending upon whether local or systemic treatment is desired and uponthe area to be treated.

Administration may be topical (including transdermal, epidermal,ophthalmic and to mucous membranes including intranasal, vaginal andrectal delivery), pulmonary (e.g., by inhalation or insufflation ofpowders or aerosols, including by nebulizer; intratracheal orintranasal), oral or parenteral. Parenteral administration includesintravenous, intraarterial, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal intramuscularor injection or infusion; or intracranial, e.g., intrathecal orintraventricular, administration. Parenteral administration can be inthe form of a single bolus dose, or may be, for example, by a continuousperfusion pump. Pharmaceutical compositions and formulations for topicaladministration may include transdermal patches, ointments, lotions,creams, gels, drops, suppositories, sprays, liquids and powders.Conventional pharmaceutical carriers, aqueous, powder or oily bases,thickeners and the like may be necessary or desirable.

This invention also includes pharmaceutical compositions which contain,as the active ingredient, the compound of the invention or apharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in combination with one ormore pharmaceutically acceptable carriers (excipients). In someembodiments, the composition is suitable for topical administration. Inmaking the compositions of the invention, the active ingredient istypically mixed with an excipient, diluted by an excipient or enclosedwithin such a carrier in the form of, for example, a capsule, sachet,paper, or other container. When the excipient serves as a diluent, itcan be a solid, semi-solid, or liquid material, which acts as a vehicle,carrier or medium for the active ingredient. Thus, the compositions canbe in the form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, sachets, cachets,elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, aerosols (as a solidor in a liquid medium), ointments containing, for example, up to 10% byweight of the active compound, soft and hard gelatin capsules,suppositories, sterile injectable solutions, and sterile packagedpowders.

In preparing a formulation, the active compound can be milled to providethe appropriate particle size prior to combining with the otheringredients. If the active compound is substantially insoluble, it canbe milled to a particle size of less than 200 mesh. If the activecompound is substantially water soluble, the particle size can beadjusted by milling to provide a substantially uniform distribution inthe formulation, e.g., about 40 mesh.

The compounds of the invention may be milled using known millingprocedures such as wet milling to obtain a particle size appropriate fortablet formation and for other formulation types. Finely divided(nanoparticulate) preparations of the compounds of the invention can beprepared by processes known in the art, e.g., see International App. No.WO 2002/000196.

Some examples of suitable excipients include lactose, dextrose, sucrose,sorbitol, mannitol, starches, gum acacia, calcium phosphate, alginates,tragacanth, gelatin, calcium silicate, microcrystalline cellulose,polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose, water, syrup, and methyl cellulose. Theformulations can additionally include: lubricating agents such as talc,magnesium stearate, and mineral oil; wetting agents; emulsifying andsuspending agents; preserving agents such as methyl- andpropylhydroxy-benzoates; sweetening agents; and flavoring agents. Thecompositions of the invention can be formulated so as to provide quick,sustained or delayed release of the active ingredient afteradministration to the patient by employing procedures known in the art.

The compositions can be formulated in a unit dosage form, each dosagecontaining from about 5 to about 1,000 mg (1 g), more usually about 100mg to about 500 mg, of the active ingredient. The term “unit dosageforms” refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosagesfor human subjects and other mammals, each unit containing apredetermined quantity of active material calculated to produce thedesired therapeutic effect, in association with a suitablepharmaceutical excipient.

The active compound may be effective over a wide dosage range and isgenerally administered in a pharmaceutically effective amount. It willbe understood, however, that the amount of the compound actuallyadministered will usually be determined by a physician, according to therelevant circumstances, including the condition to be treated, thechosen route of administration, the actual compound administered, theage, weight, and response of the individual patient, the severity of thepatient's symptoms, and the like.

For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the principal activeingredient is mixed with a pharmaceutical excipient to form a solidpreformulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of acompound of the present invention. When referring to thesepreformulation compositions as homogeneous, the active ingredient istypically dispersed evenly throughout the composition so that thecomposition can be readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosageforms such as tablets, pills and capsules. This solid preformulation isthen subdivided into unit dosage forms of the type described abovecontaining from, for example, about 0.1 to about 1000 mg of the activeingredient of the present invention.

The tablets or pills of the present invention can be coated or otherwisecompounded to provide a dosage form affording the advantage of prolongedaction. For example, the tablet or pill can comprise an inner dosage andan outer dosage component, the latter being in the form of an envelopeover the former. The two components can be separated by an enteric layerwhich serves to resist disintegration in the stomach and permit theinner component to pass intact into the duodenum or to be delayed inrelease. A variety of materials can be used for such enteric layers orcoatings, such materials including a number of polymeric acids andmixtures of polymeric acids with such materials as shellac, cetylalcohol, and cellulose acetate.

Labeled Compounds and Assay Methods

Another aspect of the present invention relates to labeled compounds ofthe invention (radio-labeled, fluorescent-labeled, etc.) that would beuseful not only in imaging techniques but also in assays, both in vitroand in vivo, for localizing and quantitating BET proteins in tissuesamples, including human, and for identifying BET protein ligands byinhibition binding of a labeled compound. Accordingly, the presentinvention includes BET protein assays that contain such labeledcompounds.

The present invention further includes isotopically-labeled compounds ofthe invention. An “isotopically” or “radio-labeled” compound is acompound of the invention where one or more atoms are replaced orsubstituted by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number differentfrom the atomic mass or mass number typically found in nature (i.e.,naturally occurring). Suitable radionuclides that may be incorporated incompounds of the present invention include but are not limited to ³H(also written as T for tritium), ¹¹C, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹³N, ¹⁵N, ¹⁵O, ¹⁷O, ¹⁸O,¹⁸F, ³⁵S, ³⁶Cl, ⁸²Br, ⁷⁵Br, ⁷⁶Br, ⁷⁷Br, ¹²³I, ¹²⁴I, ¹²⁵I, and ¹³¹I. Theradionuclide that is incorporated in the instant radio-labeled compoundswill depend on the specific application of that radio-labeled compound.For example, for in vitro BET protein labeling and competition assays,compounds that incorporate ³H, ¹⁴C, ⁸²Br, ¹²⁵I, ¹³¹I, or ³⁵S willgenerally be most useful.

For radio-imaging applications ¹¹C, ¹⁸F, ¹²⁵I, ¹²³I, ¹²⁴I, ¹³¹I, ⁷⁵Br,⁷⁶Br or ⁷⁷Br will generally be most useful.

It is to be understood that a “radio-labeled ” or “labeled compound” isa compound that has incorporated at least one radionuclide. In someembodiments the radionuclide is selected from the group consisting of³H, ¹⁴C, ¹²⁵I, ³⁵S and ⁸²Br. In some embodiments, the compoundincorporates 1, 2, or 3 deuterium atoms.

The present invention can further include synthetic methods forincorporating radio-isotopes into compounds of the invention. Syntheticmethods for incorporating radio-isotopes into organic compounds are wellknown in the art, and an ordinary skill in the art will readilyrecognize the methods applicable for the compounds of invention.

A labeled compound of the invention can be used in a screening assay toidentify/evaluate compounds. For example, a newly synthesized oridentified compound (i.e., test compound) which is labeled can beevaluated for its ability to bind a BET protein by monitoring itsconcentration variation when contacting with the BET protein, throughtracking of the labeling. For example, a test compound (labeled) can beevaluated for its ability to reduce binding of another compound which isknown to bind to a BET protein (i.e., standard compound). Accordingly,the ability of a test compound to compete with the standard compound forbinding to the BET protein directly correlates to its binding affinity.Conversely, in some other screening assays, the standard compound islabeled and test compounds are unlabeled.

Accordingly, the concentration of the labeled standard compound ismonitored in order to evaluate the competition between the standardcompound and the test compound, and the relative binding affinity of thetest compound is thus ascertained.

The invention will be described in greater detail by way of specificexamples. The following examples are offered for illustrative purposes,and are not intended to limit the invention in any manner. Those ofskill in the art will readily recognize a variety of non-criticalparameters which can be changed or modified to yield essentially thesame results. The compounds of the Examples were found to be inhibitorsof one or more BET proteins as described below.

Example A1 BRD4 AlphaScreen™ Assay BRD4 AlphaScreen™ Assay

BRD4-BD1 and BRD4-BD2 assays were conducted in white 384-wellpolystyrene plate in a final volume of 40 μL for BD1 and 60 μL for BD2.Inhibitors were first serially diluted in DMSO and added to the platewells before the addition of other reaction components. The finalconcentration of DMSO in the assay was 1.25% (BD1) and 0.83% (BD2). Theassays were carried out at room temperature in the assay buffer (50 mMTris-HCl, pH 7.5, 0.01% Tween-20, 0.01% BSA, 5 mM DTT), containing 50 nMBiotin-labeled tetra-acetylated histone H4 peptide (H4Ac4) and BRD4-BD1or BRD4-BD2 protein at concentration less than 1 nM. The incubation for75 min. was followed by the addition of 20 μL of assay buffersupplemented with Streptavidin donor beads (PerkinElmer 6760002) and GSHAcceptor beads (PerkinElmer-AL109C) at final concentration 2-4 μg/mLunder reduced light. After plate sealing, the plate was incubated in thedark at room temperature for 75 min. before reading on a PHERAstar FSplate reader (BMG Labtech). IC₅₀ determination was performed by fittingthe curve of percent control activity versus the log of the inhibitorconcentration using the GraphPad Prism 5.0 software.
